Milicic out again Saturday: Minnesota C Darko Milicic missed his fifth consecutive game Saturday against New York because of a troublesome ankle injury, according to the team's official website. Milicic, who also has been hobbled by a quad issue, has managed just 26 minutes during the month of February. (Updated 02/11/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
While Milicic continues to sit on the bench, the Timberwolves continue to watch fellow C Nikola Pekovic shine in the paint. Milicic has always been an injury risk and is averaging just 5.6 points per game this season. Fantasy owners should only reserve him in deeper formats at this point, but he is unlikely to supplant Pekovic as the starter once he returns. (Updated 02/11/2012).

01/27/2012 22:27 Rubio leads Wolves over Spurs
Ricky Rubio scored nine of his 18 points in the fourth quarter and dished out 10 assists to lift the Minnesota Timberwolves to an 87-79 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night.
So Darko Milicic will never live up to the potential Pistons president Joe Dumars saw in him when he selected him with the second overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft. We all know that. That doesn't mean he can't help Fantasy owners, though. He is coming off his most productive season to date, averaging 8.8 points and 5.2 rebounds in 69 games played. Those numbers are not particularly attractive, but the 2.0 blocks per game he averaged can be extra helpful in category play and there were moments last season where he showed he could have even more to offer given increased playing time. He scored 20-plus points per game in three straight contests last November, when he averaged over 35 minutes per game. Do not invest much more than a late-round pick in Darko, but you could find him useful as a stopgap center throughout the season in leagues that require starting two centers. (Updated 8/30/11)
